I've always wanted to watch the film of this but I promised myself I would read the book first. Previously called 'Dark Fields', the description of the book says:
"Imagine a drug that made your brain function to its full potential. A drug that allowed you pick up a foreign language in a single day. A drug that helped you process information so fast you could see patterns in the stock market. Just as his life is fading into mediocrity, Eddie Spinola comes across such a pill: MDT-48 - a sort of Viagra for the brain. But while its benefits materialise quickly, so do certain unwelcome side-effects. And when Eddie decides to track down other users, he soon discovers that they're all dying, or already dead..."

I'll be honest, this was quite a disappointment for me. As I got through a quarter of the book, I was pretty bored. I decided to just read on for the sake of it to see if it got better and plus, I hate not finishing a book. This book probably gets interesting when you're 70% through the book and at that point, that's when I started actually enjoying it.
The writer, Alan Glynn, has a habit of telling the reader useless and irrelevant bits of information, which really annoyed me.
However, there were some interesting and enjoyable parts of the book, such as the ending. If you can get through the boring 30% of the book, trust me it's worth it in the end. The boring parts are quite relevant though as they are all related to the end.
So, if you like books that have all the action packed at the end or if you enjoyed the film, then you might like this book!
